Meet Johnson and Lapham’s Attorneys
Partners Tate Johnson and William “Joe” Lapham have been great friends for nearly 25 years. They were roommates throughout their undergraduate studies at The Ohio State University. After a number of years forging their own paths, Tate and Joe decided to team up and establish Johnson & Lapham LLC, an Ohio based law firm with offices in Cincinnati, OH and Denver, CO. Together, they fight corporate America on behalf of those who are injured in auto accidents, by dangerous drugs and medical devices, and as a result of exposure to toxic chemicals.
